Alright, I think it's about time that I post something rather healthy, but delicious! On Sundays, my husband's and my parents come over for a family dinner! We have been trying new recipes and we try to coordinate our food so that everything blends well! One week, we had a fall-themed dinner, and my mother-in-law tested out this wonderful fall salad. There are so many flavors in this that make you wish you were sipping hot apple cider while sitting fireside. This is definitely a keeper!
